Major Activities

Activity 2

Feeding families: growing home families are able to shop for healthy, kid-friendly food to help stretch their food budgets in the feeding families food pantry. Based on the usda "my plate" portion and nutritional recommendations, families are able to shop for a 3-day supply of food to feed their household. Families are also provided needed hygiene products, diapers, and wipes when available. A nutritionist and chef prepares monthly food demonstrations with items found regularly on the shelves in the food pantry, focusing on healthy, affordable meals that are children approved.

Activity 3

Helping children succeed: growing home recognizes that children in poverty face tough odds, and are often at a disadvantage for school success. The parents as teachers program builds on the fact that parents are their children's first and best teacher through home visitation and explaining developmental stages and activities to stimulate their infant or toddler. Sprouts after school offers academic and enrichment programming for k-3rd grade students to make sure they are reading at grade level by the time they leave third grade. Parent education classes following the evidenced based incredible years curriculum are also offered twice a year to strengthen positive parenting skills of families with children ages 3-8.
